How To Login To a WordPress Website

Understanding Wordpress And Step By Step Instructions

 

What is Wordpress?
Wordpress is a free, simple and user friendly tool used to create your own website or blog.

More than one in four websites which you visit are likely to be powered by Wordpress. From a technical perspective, it is a content management system, written in PHP (scripting language in web programming), and combined with either a MySQL or a MariaDB database.

Features of Wordpress include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes. Advantage? You can manage the content of your own website easily without needing to know anything about programming!

 

How to log into the backend dashboard of your Wordpress website?

  2. Enter your username and password
  3. Login
  4. Easy as that - if it wasn't that easy, get in touch and we can help.
